BACKGROUND: The quality guideline for care delivery to preterm and mature infants (QFR-RL) places high demands on perinatal centers. In this analysis, the degree of fulfillment was determined. Additionally, care delivery to further patient groups and sufficient nursing staff capacity for care delivery to imminent preterm infants (FG) were evaluated. METHODS: A network of 4 perinatal centers (level 1) with about 10,000 births per year supplied the data on the ratio of 1:1/1:2-care infants, patients per nurse, and nursing staff capacity. This data was statistically evaluated by center, shift, and week day over a period of 5 months for compliance with QFR-RL and DGPM recommendations. Furthermore, imminent preterm infants were recorded and compared with available nursing staff capacity. RESULTS: In total, the QFR-RL was fulfilled in 88% of shifts (n=1,584). Only one center reached the required 95%. The degree of fulfillment and the number of staff nurses declined from late to night shifts (p<0.001). The ratio of 1:1-care infants was significantly higher when demands were not fulfilled (p<0.001). Only 14.1% of imminent preterm infants could have been attended in accordance with the QFR-RL. CONCLUSION: 1:1 care as well as lower nurse staffing in late and night shifts lead to non-fulfillment of requirements and poorer care delivery to other intensive care patients. This was also reflected in the lower degree of fulfillment of DGPM recommendations. Sufficient nursing staff capacity was rare with the consequence that it was almost impossible to deliver care to imminent preterm infants per the guideline.
